Alzheimer's disease strikes fear in people's hearts, as it gradually erodes a person's ability to remember, think, and learn. There is no cure, and available treatments alleviate symptoms only temporarily. Yet while an estimated 5.3 million Americans currently have Alzheimer's disease, this brain disorder is far less common than heart disease. More than 85 million people in the United States are living with some form of cardiovascular disease or the aftereffects of stroke, which also affects brain function.

Cook with friends

Cooking a healthy meal with friends can help you nourish your body and mind. Try a Mediterranean diet potluck that focuses on chicken or fish, healthy oils, and color-rich fruits and vegetables like kale, tomato, and eggplant.
